FOLKS THERE IS A SMALL ENOUGH GROUP IN THIS CHAMBER THAT EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK, SHOULD JUST LINE UP AND WE CAN GO THERE FR* THERE. MR. CITY ATTORNEY. >> City Attorney: YES, MR. PRESIDENT. TO PEOPLE PROVIDING PUBLIC COMMENT WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN TO SPEAK, PLEASE STATE WHICH OF THE AGENDA ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO. YOU WILL ONE MINUTE FOR ITEM UP TO THREE MINUTES TOTAL. WE WILL TELL YOU WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP WH. SPEAKING ON THE AGENDA ITEMS, YOU MUST BE ON TOPIC. OUR GOAL IS TO GET THROUGH AS MANY SPEAKERS AS WE CAN. IF YOU ARE NOT ON TOPIC OR IF WE CANNOT TELL WHETHER YOU'RE ON TOPIC, YOU WILL GET ONE BRIEF WARNING FROM ME OR THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT. AT THAT POINT, YOU NEED TO GET IMMEDIATELY AND CLEARLY ON TOPIC. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, OR STRAY OFF TOPIC, YOU WILL FORFEIT THE REST OF YOUR SPEAKING TIME AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. THE ITEMS OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE JAENLD, ARE ITEMS 30 THROUGH 44. AGAIN THE ITEMS OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE AGENDA ARE ITEMS 30 THROUGH 44. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY ALSO SPEAK FOR UP TO ONE MINUTE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY SPEAK TO ANY OF THE ITEMS OR ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CITY'S SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION. I HAVE ONE MORE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WOULD I LIKE TO HAVE THE INTERPRETERS MAKE ALOUD TO THE ROOM. IF YOU REQUIRE A SPANISH LANGUAGE INTERPRETER, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PAUSE EVERY FEW SENTENCES SO THE INTERPRETER CAN INTERPRET. >> Interpreter: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> City Attorney: DON'T WORRY WE WILL PAUSE YOUR TIME WHILE THE INTERPRETERS ARE INTERPRETING, SO YOU WILL GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS EVERY ONE ELSE. >> Interpreter: [SPEAKING SPANISH] IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT BASED ON THE PEOPLE WE HAVE HERE, IF WOULD YOU LIKE TO, YOU CAN LINE UP IN ANY ORDER ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. >> Council President: AND WHEN THAT LINUX HAUFT, WE'LL BE DONE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: I'LL SPEAKER: ON THIS CLOWN SHOW, PUBLIC COMMENT. WHEN YOU HIRE CLOWNS YOU GET A CIRCUS, THIS IS FOR REMOVAL OF COULD HUNG A BOULEVARD FROM THE CITY'S RENT ESCROW ACCOUNT WHERE THEY FINE AND LIEN PEOPLE'S PROPERTY SO THAT SLEAZY DAWSON, AND CURRENTLY ON TRIAL CURREN PRICE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF ABATEMENT CONTRACTS AND CONFISCATE THE PROPERTY. IN MY OPINION, THIS SHOULD INCLUDE WORDINGS THAT WILL ASSIST THE HOMEOWNER. THE ENTIRE CORRUPT RENT ESCROW SYSTEM AND THIS CLOWN COUNCIL, IT SHOULD INCLUDE FUNDING WHY WE HAVE THIS CLOWN SHOW OF 40 PEOPLE STANDING AROUND FOUR HOURS A DAY THREE DAYS A WEEK. INSTEAD OF NITHYA RAMAN FROM WALKING AROUND IN CLOWN FACE WITH PIECES OF PAPER TALK TO GO PEOPLE PRETENDING THAT SHE IS DOING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AT THESE CLOWN MEETINGS. I DEMAND THAT WORTHY RAMAN AND THE REST OF THE INCOMPETENT SUBMIT A MOTION TO RETURN THE FUNDS STOLEN FROM THESE PROPERTY OWNERS BY SLEAZY D. 35 IS FOR ANOTHER PROPERTY ON VETERAN AVENUED, PERHAPS NITHYA RAMAN'S CLOWN FACE, PROPOSITION SPEECH CAN BE INCORPORATED IN A MANNER THAT WOULD ACTUALLY ASSIST THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES. WOERLSLESS NITHYA RAMAN INSTEAD OF WALKING AROUND WITH PAPERS PRETENDING TO TALK TO PEOPLE, SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC AND PUT FORTH A COMPETING MOTION. 235 THAT WOULD INCREASE COMMERCE IN HER DISTRICT. WHAT A GREAT IDEA. THE REST OF THESE 20,000 DOLLAR-PER MONTH CLOWN SHOULD ALSO CHANGE THIS MOTION'S WORDINGS THAT WOULD USE THE CORRUPT DAWSON FEES FROM THESE PROPERTIES TO PAY FOR THE TRIPLING OF THE SANITATION FEES, THESE CLOWNS IMPOSED ON THE PUBLIC YESTERDAY. ITEMS 40 THROUGH 44, ARE ALSO REAP ACCOUNT ITEMS AND IN MY OPINION THIS IS ANOTHER TESTAMENT TO THE STUPIDITY AND INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION OF THIS CLOWN COUNCIL. REAP ACCOUNT ITEMS ARE THE ONLY ITEMS ON THIS AGENDA BECAUSE THESE CLOWNS TO ALLOCATE FOR THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY BANKRUPT DAWSON'S HOMELESS CORRUPTION AND ONE BILLION DOLLARS LAPD INCREASE LAST YEAR. IN MY OPINION, THESE ITEMS SHOULD READ THAT WHATEVER ESCROW FUNDS FROM LEFT FROM THE BANKRUPTING THE CITY, SHOULD BE USE TODAY INVESTIGATE WHY CORRUPT. >> City Attorney: GENERAL. >> Speaker: WHY CURREN PRICE CURRENTLY ON TRIAL WITH A 12-COUNT INDICTMENT IS SITTING THERE ON GIVING MORE BUSINESS TO HIS WIFE'S COMPANY. THEY SHOULD ALL RECEIVE A NO-VOTE. SPECIAL CONTRACT CONSIDERATION FROM THE CLOWN COUNCIL OF INCOMPETENCE. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, WHEN YOU HIRE CLOWN'S, PUBLIC, YOU GET A CIRCUS. WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS CLOWN SHOW OF PEOPLE STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING. >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER? MR. HERMAN, YOU NEED TO THE GET TO THE PODIUM EXPEDITIOUSLY, THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU TAKE SO MANY TIME. IF YOU DO IT AGAIN, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A WARNING. HOLD ON, THREE MINUTES FOR ITEMS AND ONE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: SO THAT'S THE WAY YOU TREAT DISABLED PEOPLE, RIGHT? THIS IS HOW I TREAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, ON THIS MOTHER FUCKEN ITEM ON NUMBER 12, AM I ABLE TO SPEAK ON IT, ASSHOLE? >> City Attorney: ITEM NUMBER 12 IS NOT OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. PLEASE STICK TO THE AGENDA ITEMS. >> Speaker: I'LL DO THE 30-SHIT THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, 30 THROUGH WHATEVER, ASSHOLE? IS THAT A YES OR A NO, ASSHOLE? YOU DON'T WANT TO REBUT THE AL? >> LET'S TALK ABOUT ALLIANCE. >> City Attorney: L.A. ALLIANCE IS ITEM NUMBER 45 AND IF YOU LISTENED, IT'S NOT OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: OKAY, I'VE GOT ALL THIS TIME TO PLAY WITH SMOKING SCAN, LOOK AT THIS EVERYBODY, HOUSING. WHO IS THE LEADER OF HOUSING? CAN ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC, CAN ANYONE OTHER THAN RAMAN NOODLE WHO STOLE THE MONEY FOR HOUSING FOR VETERANS, HOUSING FOR AMERICANS CAN SOMEONE IN HERE TELL ME WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MONEY, RAMAN NOODLE? THAT'S THE QUESTION. DAVID O CARTER AND I NEED TO KNOW. >> City Attorney: WHICH ITEM ARE YOU SPEAKING TO, MR. HERMAN? >> Speaker: YOU SAID I COULD SPEAK 30 THROUGH 1.

ALLIANCE. >> Speaker: LISTEN, I NEVER MENTIONED L.A. ALLIANCE, I'M TALKING ABOUT HOUSING. >> City Attorney: I'VE ASKED TO YOU STAY ON TOPIC AND YOU HAVE REFUSED, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: WHAT THE FUCK? I FEEL SO SAD, SMOKING SCAN, I LOVE HER FIRST AMENDMENT RANT, BUT MAMA, THEY'RE TAKING ME OUT OF CITY HALL. HERE AT LAST GOODBYE TO MY SECOND AMENDMENT OF FREE SPEECH, MAMA, I'M NOT COMING HOME. THEY WANT TO SACRIFICE MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH, YOU HEARD IT RIGHT HERE BY THE CHILL OF WHAT I SAID WAS INTERPRETED AS HATE SPEECH, I'M GOING ON THROUGH THIS CHANGE, DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THE PAIN? ON PLACE FOR YOU NIGGERS TO TELL ME? >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, TIME IS EXPIRED, PLEASE VACATE THE PODIUM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT. MR. HERMAN, THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND FINAL WARNING. I'M TRYING TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. DO NOT DISRUPT THIS MEETING AGAIN, IF YOU DO SO AGAIN, YOU'LL BE SUBJECT TO REMOVAL PURSUANT TO RULE 77 AND 12. --7 AND 12. MR.
